Although Kyuhyun is now physically healthy, he suffered psychological trauma after the accident, which led him to fear when riding cars. Kyuhyun opened up:
"I was in a coma for four days and was hospitalized for three to four months. After that, I learned a little anxiety and fear about traffic accidents. No matter how well I do, I always think that I can't get away from other people's carelessness or mistake."
As the broadcast went on, the "Black Suit" singer also added:
These days, everyone seems to wear seat belts well, but I can't get in the car because I'm nervous if I don't wear a belt in any car or seat after a traffic accident. Fastening your seat belt is the top priority. And I think you should always drive 360 degrees, completely full of five senses. I think defensive driving is the best."
He further stated:
"I always focus on that when I drive, and I think there is a 100km speed limit or speed limit rather than too much speed. Some people speed up to 110km, saying it's okay, but when there's a section crackdown, I really only drive at that speed. I think that if you drive as you are told, the accident will not happen much."
